Problem: For an unknown soil, CD, CU, and UU triaxial tests were performed. Each test was run on two soil samples. Please find c,\phi , c,\phi , cu,\phi u, and qu as they relate to the CD, CU, and UU tests.
CD Test:
Sample 1: \sigma 1=330 kPa, \sigma 3=85 kPa, u =0 kPa
Sample 2: \sigma 1=645 kPa, \sigma 3=178.48 kPa, u =0 kPa
CU test:
Sample 1: \sigma 1=380 kPa, \sigma 3=135 kPa, u =50 kPa
Sample 2: \sigma 1=771 kPa, \sigma 3=304.48 kPa, u =126 kPa
UU Test:
Sample 1: \sigma 1=400 kPa, \sigma 3=177 kPa, u =70 kPa
Sample 2: \sigma 1=830 kPa, \sigma 3=607 kPa, u =500 kPa
